Paula Modersohn-Becker
German
According to early references and the recent catalogue raisonne (see below), at some point after 1919, probably in the 1920s, the card support of this painting was split, removing a second painting (now unlocated) that had been on the verso, and then mounted on a new backing card. There are traces of an old label, barely illegible inscriptions (perhaps a return address and an alternative title "Kind zwischen Bäumen" [Child Between Trees] and an unidentified stamp (the number 11 or letter N over 66 [or 99 over 11/N in a circle) now on the verso.
Emulsion (probably oil, tempera, and wax) on composite board
